MANCHESTER GIGS IN MUSIC: May 2010 Pt.1

As if there weren’t enough good gigs in May already, someone decided to go and plonk several music festivals in the month too. To be fair, some of the festivals did come first. So this month not one but two mixtapes.

The first [56 mins/66 MB] is non-festival gigs during May; the second [63 mins/73 MB] is from bands appearing at the festivals: Sounds From The Other City, MAPS, Big Noise Festival, Future Everything, Hungry Pigeon and Dot-to-Dot. Dates, details and links for gigs and festivals after each tracklisting. And the links for the mixtapes are in the post below.
